And I will explain this a little later in what I call the Pillars for Treating Melasma on the Face. Even those looking for home treatment for melasma. A big question about melasma is whether it can be cured, how to treat melasma, etc. But everyone forgets the essentials when we want to lighten the face or even get rid of melasma spots. Several artists have had melasma, such as Ivete Sangalo, Kelly Key, Deborah Secco. But really getting rid of melasma spots is not easy. Much less with homemade recipes. Use sunscreen, both in quantity and frequency. Look, there is no point in buying a good sunscreen and not using it. To help in your treatment and lighten the skin and melasma, a good sunscreen is one that has good coverage, such as sunscreens with a base, which also ends up protecting better against visible light. Avoid the sun, even under an umbrella. You know what the main problem is that the heat itself worsens melasma, in addition to visible light. If this is at the beach or on light surfaces, it will be even worse. This is because sand reflects 70 to 80% of the sun's radiation back to you, meaning you are protected a little from the radiation that comes from above, but not from the radiation that comes from below, which is very significant, almost as if you were exposed on a normal day in the city. HOMEMADE TREATMENT FOR MELASMA: the big problem with home remedies is that their indiscriminate use, without specialized medical supervision, can even worsen some spots, or give you a false sense that everything is fine, so you relax your treatment, causing the dreaded rebound effect. MELASMA IN PREGNANCY: very common and tends to improve after childbirth. Also called chloasma. Some women still have the spots. Melasma is a hypermelanosis, that is, it is a disease that causes increased production of melanin. It is very common and characterized by spots with irregular edges, ranging from light to dark brown in color, located in areas most exposed to the sun, such as the forehead, cheekbones, nose, upper lip, and chin. It mainly affects women of childbearing age. It affects more women than men, and it affects more dark-skinned and black women than women with lighter skin. Melasma can also appear in other areas, such as the neck, chest, arms, and even the feet. Finally, I will talk about the REBOUND EFFECT, which is when we undergo treatment, experience improvement, and then the spots return. I want to differentiate between two things: recurrence and rebound. In medical terms, these are different things. Recurrence is when the spot returns to its previous state or worse because we stopped treating it. Rebound is when the spot returns, but it can even come back worse than before. The rebound effect is a possibility in almost any melasma treatment, if not all, but it is more common when any of these treatments are poorly conducted. All proposed treatments require that you follow the principles I have previously indicated: avoid the sun, protect against radiation with both sunscreen and oral medication, and use depigmenting agents. 〰〰〰〰〰 I am Dr. Alexandre Lima.
